Painting Obsession: family room

We just moved into our new home a few months ago. And let me just tell you that I'm in heaven! White walls for the past 3 years of renting?! I'm definitely ready to get some color going. Although, when I had those white walls, I wish I would have seen this blog (which has quickly become one of my favorites and is now why I have white slipcover couches - love them!).

We're still in the process, so I can't show you any "after" photos yet, but here are our before pics:

And these are our inspiration photos (and I'm really sorry . . . I just got these photos off the internet and don't know who to credit them to. need to be better at that.) So this might give you a little sneek peak of what our family room might look like . . .

When I told family members that we painted our family room lime green . . . you KNOW the comments we got (you just might possible be thinking them right . . . now!) But after people have seen it they love it (or at least that's what they tell us - - well, they see it through skype . . . so who knows how accurate the colors are.)

But . . . I love the feeling I get as I walk through our family room. Simply put, it just makes mehappy. Can't wait to show you the after pics!

yeah for paint. I have lime green in my house and it looks great. Don't worry about others. If you like it that's all that matters. i hate white walls too. I love the new blog and hope to check it out often. I have loved having my crafty blog too. It's a way to organize all my projects and file away great ideas.
